The Pyro hits and Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole welcome us to Monday Night Raw. They immediately begin by reminding us of John Cena's victory against Brock Lesnar, and CM Punk's successful title defense against Chris Jericho. Triple H's music hits and he makes his way down to the ring. He's in a suit and tie to indicate it's all business tonight. He grabs a mic and says that Brock Lesnar is an asshole. He made demands last week which the WWE has no chance, and will not make true.
Triple H says that if WWE let Brock Lesnar take a private jet to every show, let Brock Lesnar take a limousine wherever he pleases, raise Brock Lesnar wages, then the WWE would be no more. Hunter says that changing the show name to Monday Night Raw: Starring Brock Lesnar is ludicrous. No man has ever been bigger than the WWE, and no man will ever be bigger than the WWE, and that includes Brock Lesnar,
John Laurinatis' music hits and he storms down to the ring to a chorus of boos. He demands a mic from the timekeeper, and is not even trying to look pleased. He enters the ring and says he couldn't agree with Triple H more. Laurinatis says that last week, he felt pressured into saying yes to the demands Brock made. He says that Brock Lesnar is an asskicking machine, yet John Cena was able to walk out of Extreme Rules, is a travesty. If Brock actually won the match, then he may have been able to overlook this. Laurinatis says that he wants Brock fired, and fired right...
Here Comes The Pain plays and Brock Lesnar makes his way down to the ring. He immediately gets in John Lauriantis' face, and says that he broke their promise. He says that if he wants John Cena that badly then he can hire another man to do the job. Lesnar pulls his arm back to swing, but Triple H pushes him away. Laurinatis and Hunter looks at each other, before at Lesnar. Brock holds his ground as the authority figures prepare to attack. Hunter makes the first move, and lays into Brock with punches, before Lesnar pushes him off into Laurinatis, who kicks Hunter low. Hunter falls down, which allows Brock then locks in the Kimura lock for a full minute, with HHH screaming in pain. Brock eventually breaks the hold, and smiles. Laurinatis raises Lesnar's arm to the disgust of the crowd, but their mood quickly lightens up, when Lesnar picks John up on his shoulders, and swiftly delivers an F5! Brock picks up the mic, and says that he's taking a vacation, before Raw goes to a commercial.
